soooo maybe it’s been far more than a week but I’ve col­lected more sketches than the pre­vi­ous ones, hope­fully I’ll be bet­ter about get­ting some more sketches in this week.

a long over­due GG sketch on kitchen stuff:

indus­trial non­sense machines:

space­ships, etc:

sketches for my pos­si­ble entry to the NVart Syd Mead comp, not sure how Syd Mead-​​esque this is but whatever.

The idea is it’s a land sailor for Mars (because the winds there are craaazzyyyyy) and the sail would dou­ble as a solar panel for when the air is calm.

Thoughts? Sug­ges­tions? Slan­der­ous words?

look at the crazy awe­some inter­face for this rhino plu­gin, grasshopper:

Not to men­tion the awe­some thing that guy just did rel­a­tively quickly and the fact that Rhino is now para­met­ric, mean­ing you can edit old curves and such so it will update sur­faces (which from what I can tell is one of the only things keep­ing it from being as highly regarded as Alias).  Any­one up for teach­ing our­selves rhino next quarter?

a lit­tle late but I had mis­placed all of these sketches until today, mostly non-​​product stuff with a few basic cam­eras and a SPACESHIP!

SPACESHIP!(rough) thanks to Vaughan for let­ting me steal his brushes.

yes, that is an attempt at George Wash­ing­ton in there.

I’m hop­ing I actu­ally stick to my plan and update this site with a weekly “sketch stack” every week of all the things I’ve drawn.

So I ran­domly started work on my next port­fo­lio this morn­ing and am try­ing to think about how I will be pre­sent­ing this in per­son dur­ing inter­views, or if I’ll even be hav­ing that many in-​​person inter­views.  I had fig­ured for a while that Kinko’s is too expen­sive to print my port­fo­lio at but the print­ers at the school just can’t do any­thing of high enough qual­ity to bother with.  There are a few web­sites such as lulu and blurb where you can get nicely bound copies printed from and sent to you.  Is it worth it to design my port­fo­lio around the tem­plates they have and then get a good ver­sion printed (I hear that for color blurb is prefer­able, a hard­cover:  $37, soft­cover: $23 )? or should I just worry about it’s web appear­ance since phone/​video inter­views are becom­ing more com­mon and get­ting a hard copy just wouldn’t pay off?  I’d be lying if I said part of the draw wasn’t want­ing to hold my own hard­bound port­fo­lio in my hands.

I com­mand thee to comment.
